"Twice a year maintenance tune-ups, A/C and furnace, are always top notch. Very helpful and professional service personnel. Today, Chase solved a minor drainage leak and we discussed furnace filters. I highly recommend McGhee's."

"Whenever you have a need for an HVAC company, 5 star is the company to call. They are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable of their work and the equipment in question. When I had a new furnace and central air system installed they advised me on what was best for my home the size of the space being heated and or cooled. Not what they could sell me that was larger than I needed. This company is reputable and honest. Call them the next time you need any and all HVAC service. You won't be disappointed."

"Nobody told us that calling Home Comfort Experts would guarantee us a 90 minute business presentation. The guy who visited us gave us literally a 90 minute speech on who founded the company, who expanded the company, and how many customers with five star ratings they have. Only about 20 of those 90 minutes were looking through the house to set up an hvac system. The guy was nice but the sales pitch took forever, all to be quoted $10k for the job by them and $4k by a more local company for the same exact set-up. I just appreciate businessmen who get straight to business more than a company who feels the need to pitch their product for an hour and a half. If the product needs that much pitching, it?s not worth it to me."

"The company was very responsive via email to supply information on the various options for a new thermostat. I was most interested in a web-enabled model. Installation was smooth and easy, though the technician showed up at my house without the required hardware and had to wait for someone to deliver it to him. They also came one hour later than scheduled, causing me to miss more work than I should have. I called about 15 minutes after the appointment time and was told that they they always call the customer while on the way, but that was not told to me when I scheduled the appointment. I set a time, not a range.
I have subsequently learned that if I had purchased this thermostat myself and then called the company only to install it, the price may have been as much as $200 difference. So their markup is absurdly high. Lesson learned.

"They did a great job on putting the heater and cooling system in. Cleaned up great. My cooling system just does not keep up with the hot weather for some reason."
Converting from an oil furnace to an electric furnace isn't a simple swap—the oil system needs to be completely removed before installing the electric furnace. You'll need a full electric system installation, but you might be able to reuse existing ductwork if it's up to current safety standards. You’ll need to budget for a new electric furnace installation, which costs between $1,800 and $6,200, including professional removal, proper disposal, and safe installation of the new system.
Electric furnaces are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat. However, some of that heat can be lost as it travels through your home's ductwork or escapes through poorly insulated areas. That's why regular duct maintenance and proper home insulation are important to maximize your furnace's efficiency and reduce heat loss, ensuring consistent warmth and lower energy costs.
With proper maintenance, an electric furnace can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, outlasting the average gas furnace's lifespan of 15 to 20 years. To keep your electric furnace running efficiently, schedule regular cleanings, tighten connections, and have inspections done before winter arrives. With routine maintenance, you’ll ensure consistent, safe heating for years to come.
The size of the electric furnace you need depends on factors like your home's square footage, climate, and insulation quality. As a general guideline, those who live in warmer climates should multiply their square footage by 30 to 35 BTUs, while those in cooler areas should multiply it by 50 to 60 BTUs.
Consulting with an HVAC professional can help you determine the exact size that's right for your home.
An electric furnace works by converting electricity into heat using high-resistance heating elements. A blower then pushes the warm air through your home's ductwork, distributing heat evenly throughout your space. Since there's no combustion involved, electric furnaces eliminate the risks associated with gas furnaces and provide consistent, reliable heating when properly installed.
An electric furnace uses between 40 and 80 kilowatts per day to heat your home. The exact amount it uses depends on factors like your home's size, insulation, and overall energy requirements. Larger homes or those with poor insulation use more energy than smaller, well-insulated spaces. A professional furnace assessment can help confirm the ideal unit size for your needs.
